Game4Padel, in partnership with Freedom Leisure and Brighton & Hove City Council, has started work on the courts at Withdean Sports Complex.
The courts are expected to open this winter.
Game4Padel previously operated a temporary court at Withdean until May 2024 and also operates the padel and tennis facilities at Hove Beach Park, as well as courts at 24 other venues around the UK.
Michael Gradon, CEO of Game4Padel, said: "Padel was extremely popular at Withdean when we introduced it in 2021 and our courts at Hove Beach Park are currently operating at 97 per cent occupancy, so it’s great these new facilities will open soon; there is huge demand in the area.

"Our team is working hard to get the courts open as quickly as possible, and we already have a really strong coaching network in Brighton and Hove ready to support the padel community at Withdean from day one."
The courts will join various other sports facilities at Withdean, including new 3G football pitches, squash, tennis, gym and an athletics track.
Councillor Alan Robins, cabinet member for sport, recreation and libraries, said: "As the demand for padel courts continues to rise, these new facilities will provide many more opportunities for residents to take up this popular and fast-growing sport.
"It’s great to see Withdean continue to develop as a major sporting hub, meeting the aims set out in our Sports Facilities Investment Plan, and enhancing our growing reputation as a major sporting city."
The new courts will be located on a vacant part of the site at Withdean, towards the centre of the complex, and are surrounded on all sides by buildings and trees.
